Discover Floral Park
Floral Park lies at what was once the western edge of the Hempstead Plains, and by some reports it was first known as Plainfield. Farms and tiny villages dominated the area through the 1870s, when the Long Island Rail Road's Hempstead Branch and Jericho Turnpike cut through it. After the Civil War nearby Hinsdale had more than two dozen flower farms, and the present village was once called East Hinsdale.
More about Floral Park
In 1874 John Lewis Childs arrived to work as a seed seller for C.L. Allen. He built his own seed and bulb business, started what is described as America's first seed catalog business and bought much of the surrounding land. To promote his business and the local flower industry, he named the streets after flowers and renamed the area Floral Park. When the post office took the name, the Long Island Rail Road followed in 1888, renaming its East Hinsdale station Floral Park. By 1903 the village had more than 200 acres of Childs's flower beds, and his mail-order trade made the local post office comparable in volume to those of Chicago, Baltimore and Boston. Floral Park was part of Queens County until it became part of the new Nassau County in 1899. It was incorporated as a village in 1908, with Childs as its first village president, and Village Hall was built in 1936. Sources Wikipedia: Floral Park, New York
